The sun is going to blow up.
The sky is going to go black.
The trees are going to suffocate.
Our last breath will come from a sack.
People are falling under death.
Buildings are crumbling down.
The earth is falling off balance.
God's face has only a frown.
Where is the civilization?
Where has mankind gone?
Clouds are forming overhead.
I think it's almost done.
So here we sit in wonder.
What will come of this day?
There will not be a resolution.
They will only have to pay.
The face of war is grinning wide.
These cries are growing louder.
"We want some retaliation!"
Crush us into a powder.
How can they look into God's face
and justify this as right?
Our world is coming to an end.
Humans are blind in sight.
